Tui Bug Balm is truly amazing: The thing I really like about it apart from the natural ingredients is that if you have already been bitten by the mozzie, then apply it, the irritation disappears!

This product is so versatile. I have also used this on my chickens to keep the mozzies and mites away. It also conditions their scales and combs. This is the best bug balm I have ever used.

Coming from abroad, I was quite overwhelmed by the irritating sandflies in New Zealand. Tui Bug Balm was the only working poison-free repellant and very soft and nourishing for my skin as well. This bug balm made me able to freely enjoy my travels. I am so grateful someone told me about it!
